50 Jaar voor Christus geboorte c. 1789 - 1810

"50 Jaar voor Christus geboorte" is an anonymous drawing depicting a historical event. This small-scale work, created between 1789 and 1810, features two figures shaking hands, surrounded by a group of soldiers. The scene evokes a sense of formality and power, with the figures' actions suggesting a treaty or agreement. This piece is a testament to the enduring interest in ancient Roman history and its impact on European culture. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
